Zusammenfassung

Dass Licht therapeutisch eingesetzt werden kann, ist schon lange bekannt. Nachdem es gelungen war, den Laser zu entwickeln, ist man mit dieser Lösung auf der Suche nach Problemen eher zufällig auf therapeutische Anwendungsmöglichkeiten gestoßen und Laser wurde schon rasch zu verschiedenen Zwecken eingesetzt. Die Forschung hat der Anwendung eine recht solide wissenschaftliche Basis verschafft. Wir glauben ziemlich genau zu wissen, wo das Licht seine Wirkung entfaltet, und auch betreffend der Dosierung haben wir in den letzten 10 Jahren sehr viel dazugelernt. Weil der Prozess, wo das Licht eingreift, von grundlegender Bedeutung für fast sämtliche physiologischen Abläufe ist, ist Laser bei einer Vielzahl von Pathologien wirksam. Im Nachfolgenden wird die Wirkung von Laser erklärt und es werden genaue Dosierungsangaben vermittelt. Auf SpringerLink finden sich ein Befundbogen, eine Checkliste zum Behandlungsablauf und eine allgemeine Übersicht zu den verschiedenen Anwendungen zum Herunterladen.
